About this home
Welcome to a rare Sarasota retreat in the heart of DeSoto Acres, where vintage character meets endless possibilities on 2.18 lush, private acres. Tucked behind your own private electric gate, this unique estate invites you into a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by mature trees, open skies, and the gentle sounds of nature. The property’s tranquil setting often attracts beautiful birds and wildlife, creating a true backyard sanctuary that feels miles away from the city—yet remains close to everything Sarasota offers.
Inside the 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence, you’ll find authentic retro terrazzo flooring and classic mid-century architectural details that give the home timeless charm and character. Large windows throughout the home bathe the living spaces in abundant natural light while framing picturesque views of the surrounding acreage. With thoughtful customization and modern updates, this residence presents an exceptional opportunity to create a stunning luxury estate while preserving its iconic Sarasota style.
Perfect for multi-generational living or hosting extended guests, the home includes a separate yet connected two-bedroom in-law suite with private bath, offering flexibility and privacy for family, visitors, or even a creative studio or office space.
Step outside to your private outdoor oasis, where an in-ground swimming pool invites relaxation under the Florida sun. The expansive acreage provides room to design your dream outdoor lifestyle—whether that means lush tropical gardens, space for horses, a guest house, or an entertainer’s paradise with outdoor kitchens and gathering areas.
DeSoto Acres is one of Sarasota’s most beloved legacy neighborhoods, known for its estate-sized parcels, peaceful rural atmosphere, and freedom from HOA restrictions—allowing homeowners to truly personalize their property. Despite the serene setting, you’re just minutes from world-class amenities including the sugar-white sands of Siesta Key Beach and the shopping, dining, and entertainment at The Mall at University Town Center.
Whether you envision restoring its retro elegance, creating a modern luxury estate, or crafting a multi-generational family compound, this remarkable property offers space, privacy, and limitless potential in one of Sarasota’s most desirable locations.
A truly rare opportunity to own a private estate where vintage charm, natural beauty, and future luxury possibilities come together....
